[PATCH 1/2] let them spin

[Jens Gustedt <Jens.Gustedt@inria.fr>]

Remove a test in __wait that looked if other threads already attempted to
go to sleep in futex_wait.

This has no impact on the fast path. But other than one might think at a
first glance, this slows down if there is congestion.

Applying this patch shows no difference in behavior in a mono-core
setting, so it seems that this shortcut is just superfluous.
